Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ٦ has the Unicode code point U+0666. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+0666 to binary:
00000110 01100110. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:

Description
U+0666 is the Unicode code point for Arabic-Indic Digit Six, a numeral character used in various Indian languages such as Hindi, Urdu, and Punjabi. In digital text, it serves as an essential building block for representing numbers and quantities within these languages. As a key component of the Arabic script, U+0666 is part of a rich typographic tradition that dates back over a thousand years. The digit six has distinct stylistic features in different scripts, with variations in stroke thickness, curvature, and orientation depending on the specific language or text style. Despite its visual similarity to the Latin "6", U+0666 is not a direct substitute for it, as Arabic-Indic digits have their own unique characteristics and roles within their respective scripts. In digital communication, U+0666 ensures accurate representation and readability of numerical information in these languages, thus playing a crucial role in preserving cultural identity and facilitating seamless text exchange among speakers of these languages.
